When John Sherman was secretry
of the treasury the orphan daughter
of an army officer applied for sit
uation. There was none for her
nothing that she could do. But
she persisted. She knew there was
plenty she could do, and the secre-
tary was at loss by what pretext he
could dismiss her. She surveyed
him from head to foot, and observing
that his boots were not well shined
remarked with much earnestness,
"Mr. Sherman, think there is some
thing | can do for you, if you will
permit me. and that is to give
your boots a first-c class shine. NV
case is more desperate than you i'm
agine, and l will accept position as

retary was so astonished that it was

Among the members of the Board
of Visitors to West Point this year
was DR.. William Everett, of Mas
sachusetts. At the banquet given
to the Board of Visitors during the
closing exercises at the Academy the
doctor took occasion to inform the
guests that he was Mngwump and
wanted everybody to know it. This
statement brought Mayor Courtenay
of Charleston, South Carolina, to
his feet, aud he SAID it reminded him
af a story.
About the time the Mugwump first
sprung into existence an English
lord was visiting this country and de-
voted much attention to the study of
our institutions and manners. The
constant use of the term "Mugwnmp"
during the political campaign attract
ed his notice, so one day he made
bold to ask an American friend what
the word "Mugwump" meant.
ga Republican who votes the
Democratic ticket" was the reply.
"And what would you call Dem
who votes the Republican ticket?"
next inquired the curious English
man.
"Id call him d-n fool" was the
friends prompt response.

ed the hit immensely, with, perhaps,
the possible exception of the Mug

as wilful and cowardly liar. Major Saun-
derson charged Mr.. Sexton with being
present when | was elected present of what
he called the "Clan-nah-Gael Murder Asso-

and class to which Major Saunderson be-
longs to misrepresented and befoul not only

people, Its manners. its customs and its in
stitutions. Major Saunderson pretended to
quote from the Irish World an account of a

arrived at Tonga, and after an inquiry de-
cided that he had no power to interfere.

doubled fury. The Wesleyan Mission Col
